Now I had exactly zero interest in the Royal Wedding. I am quite happy for others

[Burney]

Yes, the prospect of watching it never occurred to me, until at about 11 a.m. the glw said, 'Ooh let's take a peek' and we ended up quite entranced. It was really rather lovely, actually. The sun shone, the cavalry looked incredibly dashing, the people cheered; just for a moment it was possible to believe that the majority of the population are relatively happy with their country and generous of spirit, to boot.

Then I read the contributions of the likes of Coad and Alibhai-Brown, sighed, and opened a drink...

I happened to be in Ware at the time. The church bells were ringing for a good couple of hours. All very nice.

I popped into the pub for a livener, only to find that I and one other chap were the only ones in there on a Saturday lunchtime - everyone else watching the wedding, presumably. The landlord bought us both a pint, bless him.

I got fired into a bottle of rosé, which obviously doesn't count as booze, so it seemed appropriate to open the second... wánkered by 4 p.m. The only reasonable response was to push through. Still feel a little rough, actually.

I'm still shocked about your mayonnaise issues. I'm thinking the metal container must be the issue. Some reaction with the acid, perhaps? I discovered that method two weeks ago and have used it 5 times without any sort of issue.

I shall try it with a plastic jug and see what happens. I do wonder if there was too complete a vacuum created between my stick blender and the bottom of the container.

Ah. Hmm. You should be covering the yolk but there must be access for oil, naturally.

I suspect you have simply fúcked up.

I don't think so. The edge of the blender is fluted, which should allow said access, shouldn't it? There was nothing in your instructions about leaving a gap to let oil in.

So I needed to tell you that oil is required to make mayonnaise?

Right.

[Burney]

Right.

I followed your instructions (and those in the video) to the letter. All I got was salad dressing.

You have let down me, awimb and - frankly - your country and your monarch.

For shame!

So hang on. Was Markle a reptile before she met Harry? Or did she get turned into one?
